Price rises continue to plague the gaming industry, with software prices (particularly) seeing a consistent increase. Nintendo announced it Mario Kart World It will be released at $80 for the Nintendo Switch 2, and Microsoft has since announced that it will begin pricing its first-party release at the same price in the future. Does this mean that the rest of the industry will follow suit?
It remains to be seen yet, but only in the future Borderland 4 Randy Pitchford, CEO of developer Gearbox Entertainment, suggests that the $80 price range for the Looter Shooter is possible.
Speaking on the Pax East panel (via Gamesradar), Pitchford said he still didn’t know what Borderlands 4’s Price explains that the decision has not yet been made behind the scenes. That said, he continued to add it. Borderland 4 It was developed within a budget and is more than twice as high as that. Borderlands 3’s Your budget, your price may reflect that.
“I’ll tell you the truth. I don’t know. That’s the truth. I’ll hit it straight,” Pitchford said. “It’s an interesting time. At some level, people who make those choices want to sell as many units as possible, and there’s a competitive market where you want to pay attention to those who are price sensitive. Some don’t want to see prices go up.
“There are other people who embrace the reality that gaming budgets are on the rise, and retail packages have tariffs. Borderland 4 More than twice the development budget Border Zone 3. More than twice. So the truth is, I don’t know what the price will be. ”
Pitchford continued to add it Borderlands 4’s The price “may be a new price led by Nintendo and Microsoft,” and he also said, “it could be that we’re coming back.” Pre-ordering games doesn’t seem too far from going to a live show, so you’ll definitely know in some way soon.
Borderland 4 The PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC will be released on September 12th.
